8:10 am
entire profile would be wiped. not sure when her husband learned about this affair. but this image was etched on the driveway outside the home. broadwell was celebrate to her 40th birthday at a dinner at washington. her husband called and canceled the event late friday. dan? >> thank you. so, how does this scandal likely to play for a newly-re-elected president? abc's george stephanopoulos is here. george, good morning. lot of people, especially on the republican side, raising questions about the timing. as asked in her questions, some people say that this is a little fishy. does this scandal, does it have the potential to derail the president's agenda? >> i don't think so. i was a little surprised that this had gone on for several months. apparently, the white house wasn't told until wednesday. as long as that holds up, you won't see any national security
8:11 am
implications. but what you will see, the president was already planning to replace secretary of state hillary clinton and secretary of defense leon p pennetta was planning on leaving. and there's that investigation of what happened in benghazi going on. >> and i want to ask you about that because david he tpetraeus set to testify on benghazi this week. the republicans aren't happy about that. >> unlikely to be good enough for a lot of members of congress. peter king wants to speak petraeus directly. this week, i'll be talking to saxby chambliss. do they still want to hear from david petraeus himself? we'll see what he says. >> quickly, george, on the fiscal cliff, the tax hikes that will go into effect on january 1st, the president is saying i want to raise taxes on rich people. the republicans said, no go.
